It's the 'Mysterious Optimizer' Perk. In Fallout4 there is a perk you can unlock called: Mysterious Stranger. When you're stuck in a gunfight, this stranger has some probability of showing and assisting you. John Carmack to help me optimize my code ... awesome!

He's actually available in Fallout 1, 2, 3, 4, and New Vegas. :)

It's based on old spaghetti westerns like Shane, Pale Rider, etc with Clint Eastwood. He's always given the title akin "Mysterious Stranger" or "Man With No Name".

Which in turn is based on the protagonist from Yojimbo and Sanjuro, the "nameless rurouni."
